"It's all about blood, Ivy. It always has been."
I've known something was wrong. I've sensed but avoided the truth that I was slipping. You'd think if you recognized that you were dying that you'd hurry to stop it, to heal whatever is sick. It's innately human to struggle for life. But for some reason, though it makes no sense, it's also innately human to lean away from eternal life.
Six years ago, when millions of people disappeared from the face of the earth in a silent instant, all hell broke loose. People did what you'd expect they panicked. We've been programmed with the will to survive—to care for our loved ones at any cost. Husbands became murderers. Children became thieves. The world turned upside-down and survival was all anyone could think about. That was before we knew about the disease.
INFEC†IOUS, the first novel in The INFEC†IOUS Series is a post-apocalyptic love story. Young Ivy has a killer sense of humor, wit and a personal relationship with the Curse Giver. Ivy longs for freedom from her overbearing spinster Aunt and from Toccoa's protective fences. A trip outside the compound brings confusion, danger, romance and death into her already troubled life. Two different guys--polar-opposites--are vying for her heart. Ivy is desperate to hold onto The Cure in the midst of the chaos and heartache. INFEC†IOUS is a love story that will ravage your heart and leave you hungry for more.

I got this book for free, not realizing it was Christian fiction. It wasn't bad, though and not "overly" Christian. It's mostly a coming-of-age story about a girl named Ivy, living in a time after the rapture and during the time of plague upon the earth. Initially, I was confused because she called the plague victims "zombies", but they aren't zombies in the typical sense. They are people with the plague that causes their bodies to rot and decompose, i.e. zombies.Supposedly, Ivy had the plague but was cured by moving in with her aunt and finding God. We're not quite sure that's what happened for most of the book, but by the end, the answer is clear.
You know, I always wonder how could there be unbelievers if and when the rapture occurs. If people disappear in the blink of an eye, it would be a pretty clear message, don't you think? It would convince me.
Anyway, Ivy lives in a fenced in compound with other believers cured of the plague. Even though the world is in the process of ending, she goes through all the usual teenage angst. She wants to have nice clothes and be pretty. Her aunt wants her to get a boyfriend, but she isn't interested until she meets a new guy to the camp. They have a chemistry between them, even though he is a non-believer.
Somewhere there is a non-functional government and a group called Pravda. Not much is told about Pravda, except they are evil and it seems they are searching for a cure to the plague. Maybe they created the plague. We don't know, but it seems a possibility. For whatever reason, they want Ivy. They seem to think her blood may hold the cure, although all the people in her community have been cured, so why doesn't Pravda want any of them?
Ivy is a good person. As any teenager, she cycles through emotions quickly. She is an enigma even to herself. She doesn't know why she does things or feels the things she does. She's a normal teenager, who just happens to have been healed by God during the apocalypse.
The book wasn't preachy, and I do want to read the next volume because I want to know what makes Ivy so special to these Pravda people. I also want to know which boy she chooses because she has two of them that are in love with her and she has feelings for both of them.
So, if you like apocalyptic books, but are thrown off by the Christian label, I wouldn't worry about it. This is a good story with a lot of mystery and suspense, interesting characters, and a post-apocalyptic world where you want to know what is going to happen next.

INFECtIOUS Revised Third Edition edition by Elizabeth Forkey Religion Spirituality eBooks Reviews
At first I was really hesitant to read this one because I hate zombies. They give me the creeps. The whole half dead/half living business just confuses and creeps me out! But, I decided to give these ones a try.I'm so glad I did because they aren't actually zombies, at least not in the stiff-armed "braaaaaaains" sort of way we often think of them.
Elizabeth's zombies are fully functioning. They can eat, drink, walk, talk, and even work. They aren't brain dead and stiff armed and trying to eat your brain. What's more is they can be healed! As long as they're receptive to the Cure. Sadly, as in our current society, most aren't. Even when they can visibly see the healing, they chalk it up to something else and refuse to accept it.
INFEC†IOUS is absolutely, unarguably, and unapologetically a Christian book. There's no getting away from it. HOWEVER. It's also one that can appeal to just about anyone. Whether you're a seasoned Christian, a new believer, or a skeptic I honestly believe (as long as you enjoy a good paranormal/end of times story) that you'll find something you like in this one. It's fiction. It's really well-written fiction.
INFEC†IOUS is engaging, interesting, creative, and just all around well done. Elizabeth does a great job reaching so many different levels and that's really impressive to me. There were so many things in this book that I could relate to, and so many more that I thought would be great for older teens and young adults.
On the faith front, I love how realistic it is. Even though they've seen some pretty extraordinary things, they still struggle, they still stumble. It's still hard. It isn't healed and done. You have to want it. This is just so well written, I could go on and on, but I'm afraid I've given away too much already!
On the general fiction front, I love the little ways life doesn't change. Even at the end of the world teenage girls like to shop and little old ladies scold on manners. Even the struggles can be related to our current ones. Everything is covered and explained so well. She does a great job of balancing the ho-hum every day of life with the excitement and drama of the situation going on around them.
Overall, I love this book and am so glad I gave it a shot, despite my fears, and can not wait to get started on the next one! I highly recommend this one! However, this does leave you on a cliffhanger, just so you know.
